GRANDMA'S PENUCHE FROSTING

This was my Grandmother's recipe. It was on a handwritten note inside her "school" cookbook. She made this often. It has been and will continue to be a family favorite. This is real good on chocolate cake.

GRANDMA'S FROSTING

My Grandma was a great baker. She made the most delicious frosting for her cakes. I could never quite get why my frosting never tasted like hers. Years later I found this recipe in her handwriting and it had coffee in it. I'm not a coffee drinker, but boy was this frosting delicious. The recipe is actually for 3 variations: white, chocolate or mocha.

GRANDMA'S PEANUT BUTTER ICING

This recipe is a little on the sweet side but it was one that my grandmother made for my mother when she was a little girl so I had to post it! It's an old recipe, so I had to guess as to how many servings it makes.

CARAMEL FROSTING

This frosting recipe was the one my Grandma used on top of her oatmeal cake, spice cake, and banana nut cake. I also like it on a yellow or white cake. You do have to use at once because this does stiffen as it cools.

GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE CAKE

This recipe has been passed down through the family for many generations. It is the only chocolate cake recipe I use anymore. The cake is nice and moist and has such a bold flavor. This cake is great for a German chocolate icing, but I have used all types of icings, which all complement the cake nicely. This cake always pleases the crowd when I make it. Hope you enjoy it as much as my family has for all these years.
